Nikola recently announced the delivery of a hydrogen fuel cell powered electric semi-truck to Walmart in Canada, representing a significant step towards sustainable transportation in the country. This makes Walmart the first major retailer in Canada to incorporate a hydrogen-powered vehicle into its fleet. The move comes as part of Walmart's broader initiative to expand transportation pilots with various manufacturers, including those producing electric, hydrogen, and natural gas-powered vehicles. Walmart aims to achieve zero emissions across its global operations by 2040, a goal that involves transitioning its fleet of approximately 10,000 tractors and 80,000 trailers to more sustainable options. The shortage of Tesla Semi trucks earlier this year prompted companies like Walmart and Pepsi to seek alternatives from rival electric-truck makers. Additionally, Nikola revealed that it had delivered 75 hydrogen fuel cell trucks in the initial two quarters of production, demonstrating the company's commitment to advancing eco-friendly transport solutions. The completion of the reworked battery truck delivery further underscores Nikola's progress in the sustainable transportation sector.
